Monthly Reader Survey

Each month, I ask my readers a question or two. Sometimes, my questions are random fun things that have nothing to do with books. Other queries are about reading and writing. Join in the fun and answer this month's survey. The results (and a new survey) will be shared later in the month.

Survey - September 2023 - Back to School - Favorite Subjects

Favorite School Subject

Here in Asheville, September brings cooler weather, changing leaves, and shorter days. For the younger set, though, it's mean the start of the school year.

With four public schools in our neighborhood, we see kids walking to and from while excitedly chatting with their friends. The book bags attest to their studies, some fun and some dreaded.

Seeing them made me wonder what subjects you looked forward to. We all, after all, had our favorites.

I will summarize the results and share late September.

Privacy Note - I value my subscribers and do all I can to protect your privacy. These answers will be used exclusively by me and will not be shared with anyone except in aggregate (no personal identifying information) in next month's newsletter.
